Wow! So relaxed! My Fufu gets so angry with me if I even try to pick him up!

Beautiful. Looks like he's enjoying that blow dry in the beginning.

Wonderful video! I don't have bunnies, but I've taken away a lot of really helpful techniques to use on my Persian show cats

The whole time you were blowing, the rabbit was just walking around like it didn't notice, I can imagine it thinking "Ooh! table!"

My bun HATES being flipped. I have tried EVERY which way to get her there. Do you have any recommendations? Cutting her nails is driving me to the brink of insanity. It takes three of us to do it. I hold her football style with her head under my arm, one kid take a paw and the other kid trims the nails. There's got to be an easier way!

Have you tried holding her the way I'm holding the rabbit in the video? Place your feet on a footstool or something, so the rabbit's head will be raised higher than her belly. Place her head between your knees, and let her body slide into the groove between your thighs enough that she is held securely. Give her frequent breaks.

Does anyone know if rabbit wool is a 4h project (the colorado 4h website sucks)

[@LilPeck]

Friends say it is part of the Heritage 4H project.

Will a hair dryer work?

[@AngorarabbitSite]

Not really. A real grooming blower is needed, and the more powerful ones, such as the K-9 Mini, are best.
